WELL-KNOWN South African actor and television presenter Fats Dibeco died at his Soweto home on Tuesday. The 62-year-old “Bra Fats” as he was affectionately known, was a household name to thousands of SABC 1 viewers of Friday night’s top-rated sports show, Woza Weekend. Although many people, mostly the younger generation, knew him for his television presentation, Dibeco will also be remembered for his more than 30 years of stage acting. Well-known roles included Paul Slabolepszy’s Saturday Night at the Palace and Athol Fugard’s Nongogo.
